Millions at risk of losing health insurance following Trump's victory
Millions at risk of losing health insurance following Trump's victory
Subsidies to buy insurance from the Affordable Care Act marketplaces are set to expire at the end of 2025. If they're not extended, coverage could become unaffordable for many.
The next year or two is just going to be an orgy of face-eating leopards eating faces.
My dad is one of those people who claims he's not a conservative or Republican, maybe he's a libertarian, IDGAF really because he always votes for Republicans. His wife is disabled, and I really worry about her because they are going to need those Medicare dollars.
Shame he elected leopards to eat his and his wife's face.
No problem. He can just pull a Newt.
Your dad reminds me of my wife's uncle. He has a disabled wife and is absolutely DROWNING. Apparently, this is all immigrants' fault and Trump will solve his problems.
He's also a raging alcoholic, and seems to be terrorizing his wife. His adult son hangs around, I think fearing what would happen to her if he left.
I am going to laugh after all the water holding Garland did for Republicans, if Trump still goes after him for some reason.
I hope everyone who voted for him gets to be a part of this.
This is the goal. Remove health insurance. Only healthy manual laborers are wanted because those are the ones who can work for their masters. If they aren't working, they don't deserve to live. If they get sick or are unwell, they can't work and thus are of no value. They only live by the grace of the masters after all.
That's why you need to earn a living, because you don't deserve to exist unless you sell your labour.
That's right. It's the natural order of things that the many live in service to the few. They were born superior after all and deserve our service. We should fight and die for them too whenever they wish to use us to acquire more resources. We should worship those that sacrifice for our masters and encourage them with extra resources so they can breed more children to fight for our masters.
Yep. Because that's "the natural order" or some idiotic bullshit
Once they kill the provision that protects people with pre-existing conditions I'm dropping my health insurance completely. I refuse to pay them through my lost potential income for a "service" that they will just deny as soon as possible. Medical insurance companies can go fuck themselves.
As someone with cancer, dear god I wish that was realistically an option for me.
I'm probably realistically just gonna die soon, even though my medication probably would have let me live relatively comfortably the rest of my life.
Even the generics of my meds are about $5k a month without insurance.
I also won't be able to afford regular blood tests or, you know, being able to see the cancer doctor.
I wish I had something more comforting to say, but all I'm left with is rage towards the people that put you in this situation. So many people have so much more unnecessary anxiety now just so already disgustingly wealthy people can be more disgustingly wealthy.
I wish all the calls for guillotines weren't just empty words. :(
Just make sure you take some Nazis with you.
surely you mean "millions of people who aren't me"?
I'm not at risk of losing health insurance, because you can't lose what you don't have!
I'd laugh, but my teeth hurt.
I can't wait to see the trumpers argue, "They are repealing Obama care, not the ACA. The ACA is great and works well. I use it personally. Obamacare is such a mess."
Exceptionalism has always been the downfall of man.
And most of them voted for him.
My in-laws include retirees who live on social security and Medicare, a woman who has had a job for maybe 3 years in her life, and her adult aom with Cerebral Palsy. The last 2 survive mostly on the son's SSI. None of them will get any help from me or my wife when all of these programs are canceled because they voted for it. Elections have fucking consequences, shitbags.
Plus, they ALL order ahit from Wish and Temu. I can't wait to hear them cry about how everything is wo much more expensive now!
Remember to remind those that voted for this when they are complaining about the outcomes.
That would require me to speak to them, which is something I refuse to do at this point. I'm only interested in communicating with people IRL who wish to be a part of the socio-cultural resistance.
I actually think this was part of the Fox/Conservative media plan. Make your neighbors and relatives so obnoxious that you can't be bothered correcting them anymore.
At this point, I think we can just lump all these headlines into: "Millions at risk following trump victory."
But they're only going to repeal Obamacare, not the ACA, right? Right?
This is like the English voting to exit EU... Only when shit hits the fan, the red necks will still continue to say it was a good idea
"The gays made me do it!"
Man, I wish we could get a general strike going in january
I’m in. Let’s get it going. Labor is basically our only hope now.
A lot of Trump supporters will lose coverage and I’m OK with that.
I'm not willing to hurt the vulnerable just to get some schadenfreude on Trump supporters.
“We” are not the ones hurting the vulnerable.
For me it's not Schadenfreude. The realization they are about to have will hurt so hard, they will never ever allow it to happen. So it's not the least bit funny, it's a spiral of violence ready to unfold.
Don't forget Trump floated the Idea of a real life Purge in October. That is the level we are aiming for here. Healthcare? They will have new, bigger problems.
It's okay, they'll be able to replace their health insurance with concepts of health insurance.
Don't be obtuse.
I'm not willing to let the vulnerable be hurt just to get some schadenfreude on Trump supporters.
That is not a fair trade.
Yeah, I’m one of them. And I’m trying to start a family.
Well, don't complain. Trump's billions for billionaires will eventually trickle down to you. Just kneel and hold your hand out. I promise, it will come eventually.
"I didn't think that voting for Trump would hurt me."
